Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1011 - 1007: Jiang’s Father

"Did Taozi say what time she’ll be back today?" Qi Huilan asked, a bit anxious.

"How would I know? Didn’t you answer the phone last night?" Jiang Hongtu replied somewhat helplessly.

He wanted to ask a few more questions last night, but didn’t expect Qi Huilan to hang up so quickly.

Because Shen Siyuan was coming, both of them took the day off to stay home.

"Why don’t you call and ask?" Qi Huilan tentatively suggested.

"What’s the rush? It’s still early, young people tend to wake up late. Let’s wait a bit."

Jiang Hongtu was also quite anxious, but he maintained his composure on the surface.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Jiang Hongtu quickly stood up to answer it, but Qi Huilan was one step ahead.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t Shen Siyuan and Taozi, but the old lady who had arrived.

The couple brought the old lady inside, who immediately turned her head and shooed away the cousin who brought her over.

Taozi’s cousin expressed dissatisfaction because of this.

"If you miss Taozi, just have her come to see you. How can elders visit the younger ones?"

As she spoke, she shot a glance at the couple. Both of them were equally helpless, unable to explain things to her, so they feigned ignorance.

Once the cousin left, Qi Huilan eagerly asked, "Mom, how did you know Taozi would come back today?"

"Of course she called me. Do you think I’m a fortune teller?" Grandma replied grumpily.

"Oh, when did she call, and did she mention what time she’d arrive?" Qi Huilan wasn’t angry; she quickly followed up.

"She called last night, but again this morning. They should be on their way."

After entering the house, Grandma didn’t sit down but kept swinging her arms back and forth in the living room, which seemed to be her exercise.

Ever since she took a "Leg Stretching Eye Bulging Pill," her health improved significantly. She could eat, sleep, exercise, and was full of energy all day long.

In fact, the older the person taking the "Leg Stretching Eye Bulging Pill," the better the results.

"By the way, call Tao Guangsha and ask if Dou Dou is back. Since Xiao Shen is back, Dou Dou must be back too. Tell them that I’m missing Dou Dou and want her to visit her great-grandma..."

As soon as Dou Dou was mentioned, a smile spread across Grandma’s face. This little one was truly her beloved.

"Alright, I’ll call her right away."

Qi Huilan responded, turning around to make the call.

Seeing her leave, Grandma then asked Jiang Hongtu, "What are your plans?"

"Plans for what?"

"I’m not losing my mind yet; don’t play dumb with me," Grandma said, slightly displeased.

Jiang Hongtu sighed and set down his newspaper.

"Mom, what do you think I should do?"

Jiang Hongtu found himself in a dilemma, trying to balance his daughter’s happiness with the fear of her being wronged.

Ignoring everything had the feeling of selling his daughter.

"I’ve known about Xiao Shen and Miss Ruan from the beginning," Grandma suddenly remarked.

"What? Mom, you’ve known all along? How did you know?" Jiang Hongtu was taken aback.

"Of course Taozi told me from the get-go," Grandma replied.

"And you... and you..."

Jiang Hongtu wanted to ask why she didn’t stop them if she knew from the start.

Grandma understood Jiang Hongtu’s meaning but didn’t answer; instead, she asked, "Do you think Taozi is happy with Xiao Shen? Is she content?"

Upon hearing this, without a second thought, Jiang Hongtu nodded.

He knew his daughter well; every time he saw her, her face was filled with happiness, something even the blind could see.

"Then isn’t that enough?" Grandma spread out her hands and continued, "From the start, Taozi knew about Xiao Shen and Miss Ruan’s relationship, yet she still wanted to be with him. That shows she genuinely likes Xiao Shen, likes him a lot, and moreover..."

"Moreover from start to finish, Miss Ruan was aware of it, but not only did she not oppose, she even supported them being together, because Miss Ruan is a smart person who knows she can’t keep someone like Xiao Shen to herself..."

"So, what do you think I should do about this?"

Jiang Hongtu asked this even though his mind was already made up since he’s an adult who weighs the pros and cons.

"You already know yourself, why ask me? Trying to make me the bad guy?" Grandma gave him a disapproving look.

"Of course not." Jiang Hongtu chuckled awkwardly.

Grandma didn’t directly answer him but instead said, "Last time Xiao Shen came over, didn’t he promise to marry Taozi? So no matter his other identity, he’s the Jiang family’s son-in-law."

"I know what to do, don’t worry." Jiang Hongtu replied.

"I’m not worried, you’re not a child to act impulsively."

Grandma has never been concerned about this; she knows her son.

At this moment, Qi Huilan came back from her phone call.

"Wenxin said Dou Dou will be here in a bit."

"Great, great... I haven’t seen her in months, I’ve missed her so much. This little one, I heard she’s been out practicing with Xiao Shen, who knows what they’ll come back with?"

Hearing this, Grandma was so happy that her eyes turned into crescents.

"She’s so young, what could she achieve? Don’t get your hopes up," Jiang Hongtu laughed.

Hearing this, Grandma got upset and scolded, "What do you know? Is our Dou Dou any ordinary child? She’s talented, blessed, how else would she catch Xiao Shen’s attention?"

"Yes, yes, you’re right about everything," Jiang Hongtu said with amusement.

Upon hearing this, Grandma suddenly changed the topic, "Speaking of blessed, our Taozi is blessed too. If only she could give me a great-grandchild." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Qi Huilan didn’t overhear the previous conversation, but hearing Grandma now, she understood her stance.

As they were talking, the doorbell rang again. This time, Jiang Hongtu rushed to the door and opened it.

Seeing their daughter and Shen Siyuan on the intercom made his heart leap with joy, but he said, "This is your own home, why ring the bell? Just come in."

Qi Huilan and Grandma both walked to the door, waiting for Shen Siyuan and Taozi to come upstairs.

Grandma stood there waiting, still swinging her arms, always remembering to exercise.

But soon, they heard the elevator, and Qi Huilan couldn’t wait and opened the front door.

Sure enough, they saw their daughter and Shen Siyuan come out of the elevator with big and small bags.

"Uncle, Auntie, Grandma..."

Seeing them waiting at the door, Shen Siyuan was slightly surprised but quickly greeted them.

"Xiao Shen is here, come in quickly. You shouldn’t have brought so many things," Qi Huilan said with a smile, inviting Shen Siyuan inside.

Jiang Hongtu stood by the side without speaking but wore a broad smile, and as for Grandma, there was no need to mention her joy.

Seeing this, Taozi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
